We were young once Making big plans when we grow up Didn't hold back Damn what's the world done to us Used to speak up Now I think we're listening too much Rules for a woman Written by a man Leave the big jobs to the big boys Like they're leaving us no choice Read the fine print, check the bullet points La La La La La La La Can't be right but do no wrong Stand up straight but not too tall Don't show fear don't be too strong Give them what they want Can't be too pretty can't be too smart Better get busy can't be in charge Gotta dream big but don't go too far America's sweethearts Oh thank God They can tell me where my place is At the kitchen sink Watered down dreams in the dishes In a couple years That frowns getting a facelift Society's standards Another line on the shitlist Leave the big jobs to the big boys Like they're leaving us no choice Read the fine print, check the bullet points La La La La La La La Can't be right but do no wrong Stand up straight but not too tall Don't show fear don't be too strong Give them what they want Can't be too pretty can't be too smart Better get busy can't be in charge Gotta dream big but don't go too far America's sweethearts America's sweethearts America's sweethearts
